Daily Drawing prompt - draw a bowl or vase.

Daily Draw - draw a bowl or vase.
I bought a new graphic Tablet and I drew this one freehand using it. This is the first daily draw I have done in ages. But then I am home from work sick at the moment.

EDM Challenge # 43 - Draw something china or ceramic.

This is my breakfast bowl and spoon. I drew this one freehand using the Graphic Tablet.

Drawing with my new Graphics Tablet. EDM Challenges #45 and #46

EDM challenge # 45 Draw you medicine cabinet. We don't have a medicine cabinet so I have drawn the cupboard in the bathroom. I bought myself a graphics tablet and used this to draw the picture. Its a bit rough but I might get better with practice. This picture took alot longer to do on the computer than it would have done if I had drawn with conventional tools but I enjoyed the experience.


EDM Challenge #46 - Draw something Holiday Themed. Again playing around with my new Tablet, I drew these baubles.


I don't think I will ever use my mouse again!! It is a very nice tool to use and very easy to manipulate.

Painting Frogs Again - I just can't help myself!

I have been Painting frogs again. These are ATCs. They are so pretty though that I don't know if I can part with them. I may keep a few and frame them together for myself. The 3 landscape ones. EDM challenge - draw an animal. I don't know if this qualifies but I think it should be ok.

EDM Challenge #37 - Draw some keys.

There is actually alot more keys on this ring but I thought 3 would be enough! I have drawn this with graphite and coloured it on the computer, I like the way it came out but I think I should have put some white highlights on it!!

EDM Challenge #25 - Draw a glass.

I drew this jar today and decided that it qualifies as a glass so it is EDM challenge #25 - draw a drinking glass, you could drink out of it if you needed to! Isn't it funny how the top is crooked, I don't know what happened there? I lost interest in it down at the bottom right and it got a bit messy..?

EDM challenge #34 - Draw a fall leaf

EDM challenge #34 - Draw a fall leaf. I picked up this dead leaf outside at work and drew it during lunch. It fell from a tree so to me, its a fall leaf. Graphite.

14. This is a picture of one of the men using the yabby pump. They find where the yabbies are by spotting the wet sand bubbling and suck up a section of the sand into the pump, then it is emptied onto the drier sand and the yabbies are easily picked out.

7. "Just for the taste of it!" This was the first drawing I drew on the trip and it was actually done in the car on the way up. It is a 6 hr drive from where we live to Mallacoota.

I posted this same painting on my art blog but thought I would show it off here also. It is oil on canvas. It is 150mm x 210mm so its pretty small but the biggest I have done to date with oil paint. I love the way it turned out. 

EDM challengs #31-Draw a collection and #32-Draw something metallic.

I've cheated a little by combining the 2 challenges. I am a big frog collector and this is a very small piece of my frog collection, the first one, (top left) is a gold pin, next (top right) is a pewter pin, next (bottom right) is a silver pin with moveable joints and lastly is a enamelled gold purfume clip that opens up and has solid purfume inside. These are drawn with graphite pencils and the last with colour pencils.

DD prompt, draw a landscape, I drew this one from my imagination with black pen and coloured with water paints. I really like this drawing.

Well Maybe it is if you consider the DD prompt, Draw Virgo, She is a bit ugly!! The last is DD prompt, draw a colour pencil drawing. I like the colour pencils on the black, they look pretty cool. These are all coloured pencil on coloured paper. 

EDM challenges #28 - Appliance and #30 - Chair.

These 2 are for the EDM challenges #28 - Appliance and #30 - Chair. The appliance was another black pen and watercolour image I drew on sketchcrawl day and the chair (stool) is a graphite drawing of one of the many wheeled items I have changes the wheels on in the past few months!!

EDM challenges #27-Book and #5 - Bed

These are for the EDM challenges #27-Book and #5 bed. I have been meaning to get to these for ages and finally on Sketchcrawl day, I did a heap of drawing! The book is a new sketchbook I bought recently for the spiral alone. I am a trades person and the big steel spiral appealed to the Fitter part of me. The paper is very thin and colour pencils come to life on it. As for the bed, this was one of the few times it was actually made! Black pen and watercolour paint.

DD prompt - draw something magic, draw a snail or snail shell and draw crystal. This is a magic mushroom, a snail and some crystal. I drew these with black pen and scanned them into the computer. Then I coloured them in photoshop.
